You spent months hiding your
love for Darius, trying to play
by human rules and be a good
little girl. Finally you decided
that enough was enough.
After all, you aren’t human.
You’re a wolf-girl. You’re a
predator, a wild one.
So you decided that it was
time to take Leena out of the
picture, and to claim your
man. You even made a blood-
pact with the moon. But then
the news came. Leena had
been murdered. She’s out of
the picture now, and Darius
is once again single. How
convenient.
Let the hunt begin.

Your older sister Loretta started hanging
out with new friends, about a year ago.
Sometimes you’d spy on them, chanting in
the basement, spilling drops of blood before
rows of flickering candles. Eventually the
word came to you: cultists. She promised to
initiate you when you were old enough.
And then, one day, she was gone - either
dead or missing. The police didn’t search
for answers, her cultist friends didn’t share
details. You were the only one searching,
and you needed to get closer. That’s why you
joined the cult. The thing you didn’t expect
was the voice, echoing inside your head the
moment the initiation ritual was completed.
It said that it could offer you things. It said
it wanted to help. Eventually the word
came to you: demon.
